Cowboys Give FB Hunter Luepke Rare 2-Year Extension Worth Up to $7.5 Million

The move signals Dallas reallocating resources to versatile role players after trading Micah Parsons.

Overview

  • Dallas announced the two-year agreement Wednesday, with a little more than $5 million fully guaranteed, according to multiple reports.
  • The contract makes Luepke the NFL’s third-highest-paid fullback on a per-year basis, per NFL Network.
  • Undrafted in 2023, Luepke was set to be a restricted free agent and has carved value as a blocker, occasional runner and receiver, and core special teamer.
  • The extension follows recent deals for DaRon Bland (four years, $92 million) and Jake Ferguson (four years, $52 million), and the team is discussing a potential extension with left guard Tyler Smith.
  • Dallas traded Micah Parsons to the Packers for Kenny Clark and future first-round picks last week, and the Cowboys open the season Thursday at Philadelphia.
